Maybe I didn't make the point well in the article. It is very limited to special cases when they limit the IBIS pixel shift to in-camera processing with only a JPEG output. The cam…

Well, they put a full-size HDMI port on the R5 mk. II if that is all you are worried about.

Good catch on the "combined with custom catadioptric lenses." Which by definition means a combination of mirrors and refractive optics. But I still don't think they are pancake len…

You are correct that MR today implies that the Virtual image is locked to the real world with some form of SLAM. I was a bit sloppy in that regards. I was more worried about what w…

If you are talking for many "game playing" applications you may be correct. But it be ridiculous to thing that people are going to be going out in public with a VR headset with cam…

Yes, I took the picture of Avegant used in the article. The Avegant and Dispelix waveguide combination looks pretty good. It is only a prototype without any tracking/slam. It is a …

As you wrote, I don't follow VR. That said, I'm very skeptical that a VR headset will work in place of a computer monitor for long term use with business computing.

I think this is a "grass is greener" type argument. There are also massive problems with pass-through AR (VR with cameras).

I don't think the issue is color. Their original product was trying to differentiate on Vergence Accommodation Conflict (VAC) and did a poor job of it. They were also going after t…

I think we need to see Kura actually demonstrate that their technology works. You might want to see this video (queued to his discussion of Kura at CES 2022: https://youtu.be/S0heZ…

While the market is "hot" in terms of awareness, it is still a very small market facing major technical challenges. I think AR while useful in enterprise markets (measured in the 1…

They seems to have done some good things. Sadly in AR as well as many high tech markets, it is possible to have a great technical achievement but miss the market requirements. The …

Thanks

Thanks, The rumor mill is that Microsoft has slowed down development of HL3 development with many people leaving. Most famously, Bernard Kress, and optical architect of Hololens 1 …

As others have said, that is probably not the best use of Tilt-5's technology. No matter how you move your head, it is still 1280x768 pixels spread over 110 degrees. Doing a little…

The patents show as Assigned to J.P. Morgan Chase. I'm not a lawyer, but I think it was done this way so the I.P. would immediately become J.P. Morgan Chase's in the case of defaul…

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding that the effectively J.P. Morgan now owns the patents (unless a court somehow unwinds the deal) and why the assignment was registered with th…

Using patents to secure loans is not new. Most Famously Tesla did it. What makes it "news" is that Magic Leap was able to raise $2.6 Billion without having to resort to using the I…

Thanks for providing the link to the archive. I have up the capacity, but when the cite hits #1 on Hacker News (as it is right now), it looks like the traffic is still overwhelming…

Thanks, There are so many hits on the site that it got throttled. I just upgrade the hosting plan to hopefully solve the problems, but I won't take effect until 2AM PDT.

The parallel fiber idea is "optically silly" but it takes some understanding of light to prove it is impossible too. It is yet another example of trying to fool people. I did try a…
